Toddler Art — Groovy Peace Signs

While Emily was away with some friends enjoying a dip at the community pool, Clara and I had fun with this super-easy art project! To make your own groovy peace signs, you will need paper plates, masking tape, and some paint (we used watercolors).

I marked off a peace sign on the back of a paper plate, and let Clara have a go at it with the paints!!

There’s really no wrong way to do this project. She needed very little encouragement from me to cover the plate with paint… so much fun!!

Clara painted several of these, and each one is unique and colorful!

Once the paint is completely dry, peel off the masking tape to reveal the peace sign and outline with black marker. Proudly display in your home or classroom!!

Ha! Before I read Mark’s comment, I was thinking bird feet too!!!! Clara is so grown up all of a sudden – is it breaking your heart? I have so much trouble seeing my kids get older. Where on earth does the time go?

She just turned 2, but it seems like she’s a lot older in part because she’s a lot bigger than Emily was at this age, and because she is doing more advanced things in an effort to keep up with her big sister. Part of me is really happy about it, though, since I could totally do without the “terrible 2″ stage. But part of me feels really OLD every time I realize how grown up she is!
